Abstract While political connections are a critical non‐market strategy for emerging market firms (EMFs) to achieve success, how they affect EMFs’ outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) remains controversial. Building on the institution‐based view, we examine home‐country facilitate or impede OFDI. Using panel dataset of listed private in China, find that home have an inverted U‐shaped effect firms’ OFDI level; becomes flatter as pro‐market reforms proceed country, but steeper with strong...

We sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of Madagascan plowshare tortoise Astrochelys yniphora (Testudines, Testudinidae). This was 16,527 bp consisted 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer (tRNA) a noncoding control region. The organization, gene order, base composition were identical to typical vertebrate. There no an additional C in arm tRNALys secondary structure. 945 region concluded variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs)....
